Environmental Sustainability and Climate protection

Infineon established a global management system, IMPRES (Infineon Integrated Management Program for Environment, Energy, Safety, and Health ), which integrates targets and processes relating to ecological sustainability (including energy management) as well as occupational safety and health protection.

IMPRES has been certified in accordance with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards worldwide. Additionally it has been certified in accordance with ISO 50001 energy management standard at our main European manufacturing sites as well as our Campeon corporate headquarters.

For Infineon, responsibility and sustainability are more than just the fulfillment of legal requirements and relevant international conventions (such as Minamata, Basel and Stockholm). Our IMPRES program is a symbiosis between responsibility for humans and environment and economic success and includes our commitment to efficient resources management in the interests of environmental protection and ecological innovation. 

Based on the requirements of the Infineon Group Policy for Environmental Protection, Energy Management, Safety and Health (IMPRES Policy), our performance is monitored by the Management Board. The results of our processes as well as the achievement of our targets, among others, are then presented to the Management Board during the Annual Management Review.

Countries, businesses and private individuals will increasingly need to consider social, ecological and economic aspects when making decisions. Comprehensive climate protection and sustainable action will be essential for success. In this context, another vital task will be dealing with the limited availability of natural resources to preserve our planet for future generations. Increasing resource efficiency offers both ecological and economic potential and is therefore a key pillar in our sustainability strategy.

We have not paid any significant fines (> 10,000 €) related to environmental issues in the past four fiscal years.
